A LESSON IN COAL.

1t is the fashion of certain, social
ed, Democratic politicians in this
State to make loud professions of
their anxiety to reduce the tariff,
but they always add favor the
tax on COAL" They except coal be-
cause and only because they do not
wish to antagonize the railroad in
iuence or provoke the opposition of
certain millionaires engaged in min
ing. These gentlemen are welcome
to the wages they earn by subservi-
ency, but we intend that the body of
the people shall understand the mat
ter.
We presume it will not be disput-
ed that coal can be mined as cheap
ly in West Va, as in any country
sending coal to our coasts. The in

Atlantic coast. If it be assumed
that coal is sold "at the pit" IN w.
Va. as cheaply as it is sold cat its
pitt in England or Nova Scotia or
Canada, then the question is simply,
whether it can he hauled from the
w. Va. mine to tide water as cheap
ly as it can be transported from
these foreign countries to our coasts2
and for this point, we should con-
slider that railroads have pretty well
driven the boats from the Mississip-
pi river.
The table elsewhere, complied
from the last report by the Bureau
of Statistics for the Treasury, shows
the countries from which comes this
foreign coal certain gentlemen pre-
tend to be so afraid of.
We doubt not these gentlemen
will, in private conversation, and
when 20 one is present to answer
them, attempt to discredit and break
the force of what is here published

but it would better comport with

these gentlemen to make answer, il
any they can, in the columns of this

PROHIBITION AND THE CHURCH.

We continue from last issue the effort
to reproduce the thoughts expressed by
the Rev. Sanford III. Cobb i'm the Prince
ton Rerie,r for July.
The discussion of prohibition falls
naturally into two parts; first, rs a
civil law; and second, as pIecept
of morals. These two aspects are
logically quite distinct, yet they are
constantly confused, and the advo-
Gates for prohibitOry legislation
draw their strongest plea from NOR
al considerations.
Those asking the Church to exert
her influence to accomplish prOhibi
ton must base church action on one
or the other of two grounds;
l. Thar ALL DRINKING OF INTOXI-
CANTS Is SINFUL
But this is not a true proposition.
Drunkenness is wicked, vet the mod
crate use of liquor is as siGlesS as
the use of bread. Both reason and
Scripture say that intemperance is
wicked, but neither reason nor Scrip
ture suggests that the temperate use
of stimulant is sinful. (The exam
pie of the moderate drinker is anoth
er matter, and will be discussed here
after
Some things are wrong because Of
their intrinsic nature: to steal is in
trinsically wrong. There are other
things which would not be wrong
unless forbid by statute; to SNUG
ole, to throw garbage in the street,
to fish ut all seasons, 70 charge for
the use of money more than a certain
rate of interest, are things which are
wrong only because forbid by stat
ute. To steal would be a sin al
though the civil law was silent; but
morality and the Bible know moth
ing about smuggling until the civil
law defines it, and forbids it. When
the Legislature forbids an act then
both morality and the Bible make it
a matter of conscience and say.
